I know that this day will be strange for most of us. The absence of our usual Christmas gatherings. The oddity of creating new traditions. This year has forced us to be adaptable. To be open to change and to embrace our powerlessness. What a concept in itself. Our...
Things I Have Learned
Okay, 2020 was the least desirable experience for us all. Sure, there were probably some good things to focus on but on a Yelp rating it is a lonely one star. However, I learned some new skills that could be added to my resume along with my growing love for online...
Finish Strong
In 11 days, 12 hours, and 20 minutes, we will say goodbye, or perhaps, throw up a middle-finger to 2020. I don't know about you, but this year has taught me a lot about myself. It has been a year of literally just sitting back and watching the shit show proceed....
The Entry
If you have been following my blog for awhile, you know that I am the primary caregiver for my 89-year-old mother. In the past year, she has been declining rapidly which required us to hire two caregivers for different shifts. After years of a rotating door, we were...

I tried to make coffee this morning only to realize that I hadn't put the pod in the Keurig. So, technically, I failed at the first attempt, but the good news is that I figured it out after I looked at the user manual to troubleshoot. Welcome to my Thursday! I am a...

I Have No Idea
I suppose that I am delusional. I write a book, revise it hundreds of times, approve the cover, and then I think all I need to do is market the shit out it, right? Wrong. So very wrong. I am learning to navigate new territories like MailChimp and trying to understand...
Getting To Know You
In the last year, we have lost two dogs. The grief of losing two family members so close together was incredibly difficult and then we went four months without one. It was quiet. The cats were extremely happy with having less chaos. Then came Luna. I shared the story...
Weird
The last couple of days have been weird. I can't describe it, but I feel a little crazy. More so than usual. Maybe it's because I am busy marketing my book with no clue what I am doing. Sure the publisher does a lot, but there are a lot of avenues that I need to...
The Story
For those of you who have been following this blog like a bunch of stalkers, thank you! I am grateful for your presence and support. During this universal pause, I was fortunate enough to finish my book, Her Turn, and it will be released in January 2021. Originally,...
